Living on Campus
Cornell is a residential campus—a place where students live, learn, and play together. Students build close-knit communities in our residence halls, gather several times daily in The Thomas Commons, and enjoy the beautiful, peaceful atmosphere of the Hilltop and Mount Vernon. They also find plenty of ways to explore the diversity of eastern Iowa and beyond during weekends and monthly block breaks.
Live, learn, play
The vast majority of Cornell students live in our residence halls where they enjoy many room options, including singles, doubles, triples, suites, and apartments. As a first-year student, you'll live on a "first-year floor" with services and programming dedicated to helping you adjust to college life and build relationships. Want to go even deeper? First-year theme floors bring like-minded students together for a journey that emphasizes teamwork, leadership development, and service to the community.
The Thomas Commons: Cornell's town square
The heart of Cornell student life is our Thomas Commons, where students gather three times a day to enjoy meals from our award-winning dining services provider, Bon Appétit. Much more than a place to dine, the Commons is also the place to socialize, organize a late-night event, dance, explore volunteer opportunities, DJ for KRNL, write for The Cornellian, and more. The Commons will soon be better than ever, thanks to a $14 million renovation that will be largely complete by the fall of 2013.
Unapologetically ... orange?
The Orange Carpet is the hub of activity in the Thomas Commons—students gather on the OC for concerts, political speeches, Cornell's annual Student Symposium, events organized by various student organizations, and a host of impromptu gatherings. Adjacent to the OC is Zamora's Market, a perfect place to study and socialize with overstuffed chairs, wireless Internet, and freshly roasted fair trade coffee.
Block breaks: Pure fun
At Cornell, you'll get a midyear break and a spring break like all college students. But because of our One Course At A Time curriculum, you also enjoy several "block breaks." After finishing each block, you take a four-day weekend before starting the next term. Each break can be a celebration, a respite, or an adventure.
One of the '10 Coolest Small Towns in America'
Fodor's Travel recently named Mount Vernon one of "5 Midwestern Small Towns to Visit Now," and Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel placed Mount Vernon on a "10 coolest small towns in America" list for its mix of creative spirit and historic charm. Mount Vernon's own Lincoln Café has won raves from O Magazine, the New York Times, and the Chicago Tribune. Just 10 minutes down the road you can hike or canoe through the majestic river bluffs of Palisades-Kepler State Park. Or take a short drive to Iowa City (home of the University of Iowa) or Cedar Rapids for access to live bands, street festivals, movies, shopping, and art museums.

text: I am thinking about getting a foosball table. I grew up playing on a table that had been in a bar. It was very heavy-duty, and featured a one goalie rod. Now that I've "grown up" I'd like to get a good foosball table. I'm looking at the Tornado cyclone IIs and the like. One thing I've noticed is that most of these tables come with 3 goalie rods. I see there are options for one goalie, but I'm curious as to people's opinions about the one vs 3 goalie game.

Not even a year out of date. g2g.
I'm mixing up a batch of old fina pellets that has an expiration date of May 2013. This stuff is really dark in color. I'm getting ready to filter it, but I've never seen any this dark. It's been stored right for the year. No exposure to sunlight or hot temps. Surely this stuff is still gtg? What do you guys think?

Despite a fairly dismal first half in which Drew Crawford and Alex Olah struggled noticeably, Northwestern managed to hang around with future Big Ten rivals Maryland. Gritty defensive play, leading to 11 Terrapin turnovers helped NU combat a terrible shooting period (9-28 from the field), and somehow the Wildcats were only down two going into the break.
That changed quickly.
Maryland came back out swinging behind center Alex Len and never looked back, overwhelming the hapless Wildcats with their size, strength and improved shooting. Northwestern didn't help their cause much, lapsing defensively and on the glass as Maryland outrebounded them by a 47-19 margin.
"In the second half we didn't guard them and our offense was pretty much the same," said head coach Bill Carmody. "[The rebounding differential] was about 15 at half, and I attribute that to being 3-16 [from behind the arc]. We were taking too many threes too soon, not even giving ourselves a chance to get to the boards."
Carmody cited inconsistent practice time as problematic. After returning from their victory in South Padre Island, the Wildcats had taken only one day to prepare seriously for Maryland. However, players were adamant they had been fully briefed for the Terrapins.
"We knew exactly what Maryland was going to do this game," said sophomore Dave Sobolewski. "The coaches showed us great film and we simply didn't execute, especially in the second half. That's obviously the main focus, we just have to improve on the defensive end and on the glass."
On the offensive side, Northwestern found some success in the first half, scoring off several backdoor cuts. But the team had issues running through their sets the second time around, continuing with iffy shot selection and failing to expose their opponents.
"We've been struggling a little bit trying to get the pulse and tempo of the game," said Carmody. "I felt if we ran through our stuff we'd get easy baskets. We were a little too quick on the trigger and didn't really make them guard us."
It was a rough night all around for the Wildcats. Chalk it up to defense, rebounding, or an often-stagnant Princeton attack. The bottom line was, Northwestern's shots just didn't fall.
"Some of our shots were rushed, but at the same time they're shots I think we know we can make," said senior Reggie Hearn. "We didn't make them play us defensively. They had an advantage in size, I think we had an advantage in speed and didn't make them work. If those shots go in it's a different story, and they didn't."
In the greater scheme of things, the loss shouldn't hurt the Wildcat's resume, but rather it was a missed opportunity for a solid win. Sobolewski emphasized that despite quality opposition, it was simply an early-season misstep. Though there were no smiles to be found post-game, there were also no excuses.
"We have to be able to play with these guys, especially at home," said Carmody. "I think we were all disappointed and we'll come back at it, work hard and get this thing turned around."

I worked at Vanderbilt University full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Cutting-edge research, PhD students receive highly-competitive stipends, free health insurance, rec. center, and waiver of tuition
Cons – Academic researchers aren't fully focused on training and preparing you for your next career move. They're focused on getting funding and doing research.
Advice to Senior Management – Continue to provide career development source through routes other than advisers. Even my adviser who I consider to be top-notch could've done better to clue me in on some things. For example, I had looked for positions at PUI's and liberal arts colleges that don't require a postDoc but wasn't informed about the seasonal nature of such position announcements. They come out in October. That one piece of knowledge up front would've saved me a lot of frustration looking for such positions during the off-season.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

So recently I was criticizing someone else's blog on a potential WWE vs. TNA PPV for a lack of incite involved on his matches. While I am in the camp that believes WWE has nothing to gain from such a merger and feel as though TNA's talent as whole is a step below WWE's, as a wrestling fan I, like most, have thought about many 'dream' matches. So with a little extra

Hey there wrestling fans. After enjoying many of your posts for so long, I thought it was high time I started posting some of my own. I was gonna start with my favourite wrestlers, but after WWE's list of greatest tag teams, I thought I'd list my own. I have been watching Wrestling for as long as I can remember (early 80's) and am only going to list the teams I remember and why (sorry Blackjacks).

andy williams dies at age 84
Posted 26 September 2012 - 09:12 AM
Posted 26 September 2012 - 09:14 AM
Andy Williams, whose soothing baritone and relaxed performing style made him one of America's top pop vocalists and a popular TV variety-show host in the 1960s when he recorded hits such as "Moon River" and "Days of Wine and Roses," has died. He was 84.
Williams, who announced in late 2011 that he had been diagnosed with bladder cancer, died Tuesday at his home in Branson, Mo., his family announced.
The Iowa-born Williams began singing professionally as a boy with his three older brothers in the 1930s, and he went solo when the quartet broke up in the early `50s.
After becoming a regular featured singer on Steve Allen's "Tonight" show in 1954, Williams had hits with songs such as "Canadian Sunset," "Butterfly," "Are You Sincere," "Hawaiian Wedding Song" and "The Village of St. Bernadette."
He continued to turn out hits in the 1960s and `70s, including "Can't Get Used to Losing You," "Dear Heart," "Charade," "Music to Watch Girls By" and "(Where Do I Begin) Love Story."
The singer hosted "The Andy Williams Show" on NBC from 1962 to 1967. After doing three specials a year for two years, he returned to the weekly series from 1969 to 1971.

We have all seen some amazing base jumping videos, but this is the most beautiful one that I have ever come accross.
With the Hunan Province in central south China set as the backdrop, these amazing base jumpers majestically soar through the sky at break-neck speeds, as first-person camera angles give us a unique perspective. You have to see to believe.

Connect With Us
Welcome! Here at Thanksgiving Point, we strive to provide educational experiences for students, teachers, and families. We have a variety of programs and field trips, all aligned with the state Science Core Curriculum, including the Intended Learning Outcomes, which gives you and your students a one-of-a-kind experience. Please look through our offerings to find what best fits your needs as an educator. We are happy to answer any questions and we will do our best to accommodate you and your students.
Founded in 1995, Thanksgiving Point is a nonprofit farm, garden, and museum complex dedicated to providing children and families with interactive learning experiences. The organization's museums provide the community with hands-on learning experiences. Each year, more than 1.9 million guests visit Thanksgiving Point and participate in its core programs
To better serve the educational community and expand our programs we've changed the structure of our field trip offerings. Please see the following details:
Changes to Guided Field Trips: Guided field trips have been replaced by facilitated field trips. In addition to exploring the museum, farm, or garden with chaperones, each class will have a 15-minute activity led by Thanksgiving Point staff. The self-exploration portion will be facilitated by venue staff as well as an education staff facilitator who is available to answer questions,provide support, and help chaperones and students get to the classroom activity at the appropriate time. Teachers will be provided with pre and post-lesson plans and a checklist of items to complete before and after the field trip to help their students get the most from their experience. These materials will be posted online and sent with their contract. Teachers will also be provided with the guidebook for the field trip that will be used by all teachers and adult chaperones in advance so they and their volunteers can be prepared for the experience. Teachers can also make adjustments and connections that will help support the material the students are currently learning in the classroom.
To learn more about field trip offerings and to schedule a field trip, click on the links in the menu bar to the left.
All field trips must be booked at least two weeks in advance. All venue specific field trips are $4 per student. All Career Exploration Experiences are $6 per student. Facilitated field trips, like the guided field trips, on location require a minimum charge of $75 per group, per day; Self-guided field trips do not. Most "facilitated" field trips can be modified for a "self-guided" experience. Ask for details when registering.

Cellar/Tasting Notes " This is a bit more elegant though there are still noticeable sauvage elements to the plum, earth, underbrush and game scents. The supple, round and also delicious medium-bodied flavors possess a relatively refined mouth feel, all wrapped in a restrained, balanced, clean and mildly austere finish..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A ripe but airy, cool and ultra elegant nose speaks of restrained red berry fruit nuanced with plenty of Gevrey-style earth that is also well reflected by the strikingly detailed, pure and harmonious medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a focused, linear, dusty and energetic finish. This beauty..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... it reveals gorgeous textural finesse and fabulous overall balance. The 2010 floats on the palate with an effortless expression of fruit that is truly remarkable. Deep layers of spices wrap around the sensual finish. This is another fabulous wine from Bruno Clair." (Antonio Galloni)
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Generous wood presently fights somewhat with the otherwise notably ripe aromas of earth, smoke, dark berry fruit and a touch of the sauvage. The impressive concentrated, rich and mouth coating big-bodied flavors possess excellent depth on the dusty, intense and driving finish..."

Yosemite National Park is one of America's first wilderness parks and visited by millions each year. See some of its iconic images.
Located in the granite heart of California's mighty Sierra Nevada mountain range, Yosemite is one of the United States' first wilderness parks.
It's visited by 3-and-a-half million people each year.
Yosemite National Park is home to North America's highest waterfall: Yosemite Falls.
A nearly two and a half thousand foot drop makes this an iconic image of Yosemite.
Some visitors look for adventure, and may climb Half Dome, a granite peak more than 4800 feet high. Although a long and challenging hike, a climb here requires no special expertise.
More experienced climbers aim for El Capitan, a 3-thousand foot peak. It is the largest monolith of granite in the world.
Yosemite's great granite peaks were once the fiery heart of an immense volcano.
100 million years ago, massive bubbles of magma rose into a huge chamber five miles beneath the surface of the earth.
That magma cooled into a single gigantic slab of granite- 350 miles long, 60 miles wide, and 10 miles thick. As water eroded the overlying rock, the granite rose.
We see parts of it today as El Capitan and Yosemite's other great stone sentinels.
And Yosemite boasts other iconic images… much younger than the granite, but very old when compared to other living things on earth. Giant sequoias, reach 300 feet up, as high as a 27-story building. Some sequoias have been around for up to 3,000 years.
Scientists here are climbing the giants to study how well the trees pump water from the ground, and how climate change could be affecting them.
Yosemite, providing a glimpse at earth's ancient past, and offering a window to its constant changes.

Eli - My nephew's name. I have to say that I really, really dislike it. I have no idea why I associate it with postbellum rural poverty... but I do. Also, this name is quite popular (as are Elijah and Elias). I'd opt for Elias, a more refined option, over Eli.
Shepherd - I also love this name, but it does take some guts. I love the nn Shep.
Jedidiah - Well, all of these depend on your surname. I'm going to break from the pack and declare my love for this name. I know quite a few men with this name (mainly named after ancestors), and I feel like it fits in with the vintage Biblical trend without seeming overly popular. After all, I know a lot of Josiahs, Jonahs, Judahs, Aarons, Isaacs, Calebs, Elijahs, etc. I also love the nn Jed.
Wyatt - Sorry, this is another name I seriously dislike (I actually strongly dislike very few names... but Eli and Wyatt are on that list). It reminds me of Wyatt Earp and gunslinging cowboys... not that nice. Plus, it just has an unappealing sound.Emiliana Pari (or Valentina Hasti?) Debuts July 2014Soren Pasha, Caspian Bardia

Did the Raiders play predominantly a zone or man-2-man on the backside of their defense? Could it be that his particular skills size and speed didn't translate into the scheme they were playing? Or, is his football IQ not high enough to grasp the intricacies of an NFL defense? Of course, and we'll find out soon enough, it could simply be that when the lights go on he can't hold up under the pressure (see Limas Sweed). The one article indicates that he looks good in practice, but couldn't translate it during a game. I guess the Steelers will find out over the next 8 weeks when they place Decastro on the temporary IR or whatever they call it.

I need help understanding why some of these guys can't easily convert to Safety. If CB is the more difficult position to play, requiring more talent it would seem like taking a guy struggling there and moving him to Safety might help him suceed. Obviously it isn't that easy but given our lack of depth at Safety can anyone knowledgeable discuss?

One year out, Sochi gears up for groundbreaking Olympics
Organizers invoke it again and again: The 2014 Winter Olympics, set to take place precisely a year from now in the Black Sea resort city of Sochi, will herald "a new Russia." To underscore that determination to exalt all things new, the Sochi Games have already assured themselves of delivering at least five Winter Olympic "firsts."
Sochi will be the first Winter Games:
• With venues built entirely from scratch. After awarding the Games to the Russian Riviera in July 2007 by a four-vote margin, the International Olympic Committee swallowed hard. Would it be possible to build every necessary venue, plus all the infrastructure to support them, in little more than six years? For a while IOC technocrats wore out the air routes between Switzerland and Sochi, flying in just to calm their nerves. Then it became clear how much Russian President Vladimir Putin was doing to ensure that the Olympic effort, conceived as an exercise in national pride, didn't become one of national humiliation: He leaned on oligarchs, and cronies in charge of state-owned companies, to bankroll construction and underwrite sponsorships. And he put a trusted fixer, deputy prime minister Dmitry Kozak, in charge of coordinating every Olympic-related project.
There has been collateral damage. Migrant workers have been ridden so hard to meet deadlines that human rights advocates are crying foul, and a community of old Orthodox believers were evicted from their ancestral homes, which were razed for the Olympic Park. But the 810 new construction sites around the city figure to benefit most of Sochi's 400,000 inhabitants for generations. Only 10 percent of the $23 billion for new investment in the region has gone toward sports-specific projects. Organizing committee CEO Dmitry Chernyshenko uses the analogy of "a blank canvas" to describe the once-in-a-millennium chance his hometown has been given to remake itself.
• With a purpose-built Olympic Park. Next to their sprawling summer counterparts, Winter Games are relatively intimate affairs. But Sochi will take this intimacy to a new level, staging the Games entirely in two "clusters." A mountain cluster of venues, 28 minutes by high-speed rail from the coast, will host skiing and sliding. But Sochi's gemstone will be the coastal cluster, with its indoor ice venues for skating, hockey and curling, as well as the 40,000-seat Fisht Stadium, which will host only the opening and closing ceremonies, and then await a second act as one of 16 host venues around Russia for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Hard by the Black Sea, the Olympic Park will be able to hold up to 75,000 spectators at a given time. Yet any athlete staying in the adjacent Olympic Village will be able to reach any venue, on foot, in 10 minutes.
• To take place in a subtropical climate. Sochi is a microclimatological freak. Palm trees line its seaside promenade, the sun shines for 300 days a year and the tea fields of the Krasnodar region are the northernmost in the world. But with climate change disfiguring weather patterns all over the globe, aren't organizers mocking the fates to expect mountains only 30 miles away from the shore to deliver the requisite snow?
While it doesn't snow frequently, when it does, the stuff comes down hard: The same humid air that makes for stifling summers on the coast can meet with cold air from the Caucasus to create a real dumping. And just in case there isn't enough snowpack by next February, organizers have launched what they call the "Hot Snow Program." For the past three years they've refrigerated chemically treated snow, so it can be broken out where it might be needed. (For a December ski jumping test event, some of the stored snow got pressed into service, with huge round balls flattened to cover patchy spots around the landing area.) In addition, the alpine course at Rosa Khutor is lined with snow guns that can produce, even at temperatures as high as 50 degrees. Modern Russia, indeed.
• To feature so many new medal events. There will be a dozen of them, including several, such as slopestyle skiing and snowboarding, taken whole from the X Games. It's all in keeping with the IOC's abiding desire to make sure that TV ratings skew young enough to keep advertisers happy and rights fees robust. But several new disciplines will have a more classic look, including women's ski jumping, and relays in luge and biathlon, each of which will mix men and women. Here's an in-depth description of each of the new events.
• In Russia. It's hard to believe, given the big part winter sports played in the old Soviet sports machine, but Russia has never hosted a Winter Olympics. More urgently, after winning the most golds and finishing second in overall medal count as recently as 1994 at the Lillehammer Olympics, Russia has been in a medals swoon. The nadir came three years ago in Vancouver, where Russian athletes won just 15, including only three gold.
Just because there are good reasons for the decline -- the breakaway republics of Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan took with them the finest winter sports training facilities in the old Soviet Union -- doesn't make it any easier to swallow. To reverse those fortunes, Russian athletes and sports federations have been dipping into millions in oligarch cash collected by the Russian Olympians Foundation. And last month Russian Olympic Committee president Alexander Zhukov, who took over after the Vancouver debacle led to the firing of his predecessor, laid down ambitious goals: 40 to 45 medals overall, with at least 14 of them gold.
Putin is interested in much more than being a gracious and modern host. To maximize the nationalist passions on which his United Russia Party plays, The Bear must win.

Bonjour comme ce va!
You can try Neptune they have a large selection for you i would say the "Isa" would be the best.
We are planning to remodel our bathroom, and would like to replace our ancient 60"x32" tub-shower.
Since there is no room for separate tub and shower, we still need to have a tub-shower arrangement in the new design. We have enough space, however, to go for a wider tub of 42".
[My question]
I would appreciate any suggestions for 60"x42" tubs that ideally have:
1) curved shape that is more rectangular than oval (after all, we need to be comfortable taking a shower in it).
2) large base dimensions so that it can comfortably fit 1 adult + 2 small children for bathing?
I've looked around at a few 60"x42" tub models from various manufacturers, and have found that in general the base dimensions are small (example: 38" long by 28" wide, 40" long x 24" wide, etc.).
The best candidates that I've found so far are these two:
- Maax Casa 60"x42" with base of about 48"x28"
- Maax Duo 60"x42" with base of about 42"x31"
(I've quickly looked at tubs from Kohler, Americh, Jason, American Standard, Whirlpool, Toto, etc. Either the tubs are too oval and therefore not practical for showering, or their base dimensions are too small.)
Can anyone suggest a tub that's not too oval, which would have a base of about 48" by 30"?

Je vais tres bien, merci. You are not looking in the right places.
Jetta tubs, for example, has many 60x42 tubs that are rectangular. Some have rounded or oval basins, but that is usually for sanitary reasons. The tubs come both jetted and plain.
Bonjour vous deux. Thanks for the suggestions!

Nothing going on in the NHL tonight - if you have rumours, trade ideas (fantasy or real life), AHL stuff, CHL stuff, or anything else, tweet me (angus_j) or fire me an e-mail (angus at dobberhockey.com) and I'll talk about it for tomorrow's ramblings!
Bob McKenzie believes that Brenden Morrow may become available at the deadline, if the Stars (who are three points out of a playoff spot right now) fall out contention.
Brian Burke talks shop about some of the worst trades he has made – he's helping to promote Behind the Moves, the book I reviewed a few months ago.
"The good news is, if you make enough good trades, people forget about the horses— trades that you've made. People ask me, 'what's the worst trade you've made?' And I would have to think hard about that, but I could tell you a couple real bad ones."
He paused for a beat.
"A second-round pick in Vancouver for Vadim Sharifijanov."
Morrow is currently injured (neck), but he should be back soon. All contending teams would have interest in him – he's a solid two-way forward and supplies a lot of grit and leadership, as well.
Mark Dekanich has injured his ankle, again. He originally suffered a high-ankle sprain at the beginning of the season, and he injured the same ankle recently. No word on a potential return this season (I'd say it is doubtful). Steve Mason is done in Columbus, Dekanich is always hurt… who do the Jackets target this summer?
Unless he is demanding the moon, I don't see the Leafs moving Grabovski. He's an impending free agent, but he is such a good player and such a big part of Toronto. The Leafs will likely be in the hunt for a playoff spot through the deadline, so the only way they part with Grabovski is if another team gives them a really, really good offer.
Some of the scoring leaders in the AHL worth mentioning…
Gritty winger Pat Maroon with 20 goals and 45 points in 39 games – he was traded from the Flyers to the Ducks last season after some off-ice issues. Has NHL upside, could get a shot if/when Blake is traded and Selanne retires.
Center Brandon Pirri of the Hawks, with 18 goals and 41 points in 41 games. He's close to being an NHL forward, but the Hawks aren't at the point in time where they can invest time in a young player on their second line. Look for Pirri to be a trade chip at the deadline this year, or a potential second line center for the club long term.
Detroit winger Gustav Nyqvist, who most definitely will step in to the Wings top nine next season or the one after. He's a really skilled and really smart forward. 37 points in 37 games.
We are all aware of Kyle Palmieri's scoring prowess in the AHL – 23 goals in 24 games. Only a matter of time until he is able to successfully translate that over to the NHL (like Maroon, he'll get a look for a top six/nine spot once some winger spots open up in Anaheim).
The highest scoring defenseman in the AHL is Mark Barberio. I mentioned him a few weeks ago in one of my Prime Cuts pieces. He's in the Lightning system, and they are a team that severely lacks puck movement and offensive talent on the back end. He could get a look down the stretch this season. Five goals and 37 points in 41 games.
A good read on the Sharks need to improve their fourth line from Fear the Fin – right here.
"Overall I think it's fair to say that the qualitative analysis of the fourth line works in harmony with the quantitative aspect of it. Their greatest strength is their ability to hold their own against opposing team's fourth lines, something that the Sharks and Head Coach Todd McLellan had some difficulty saying all throughout last season.
Going forward I think it will be important for the fourth line to see more ice time than they are currently-- with a road heavy schedule in February that will see the Sharks take a 9 game trip east of the Mississippi, and a brutal 17 game schedule in March right before the postseason, utilizing that fourth line as much as possible is essential towards keeping your money makers fresh."
The Sharks traded for minor league winger Tim Kennedy from Florida. He could find his way onto the fourth line pretty quickly…
I thoroughly enjoyed this special on Nick Lidstrom…

"It started about a year ago—pain right here behind my eyes," Sydney Kessel said. Like a bomb going off inside the head of this happy, active sixteen-year old. Days and weeks went by until Sydney ended up "just upstairs in my bedroom—all lights off. Window shades closed—just in darkness." No school. No dates. No teen parties. No mall shopping. No relief.
She's not the only one suffering. The migraine is also her mother's pain—passed on to her daughter, as it is in most cases. "It makes me feel like I can't do anything to help her," Sydney's mother, Shirley, said. Unlike her daughter, Shirley suffered migraines at an older age: "I wasn't that young; I never had a migraine at 16."
To understand Sydney's condition, imagine everyday sounds and lights cranked—full blast. A stapler can sound like a jack hammer, and lights appear blinding. Add in constant nausea, and you've got the piercing pain of a migraine. CHOP neurologist Doctor Christine Szperka says the migraines are more common that you may think: "More frequent headaches within a couple years of puberty; we don't entirely understand why." Teens, most of them girls, suffer at a most confusing and stressful time of life.
Sydney's doctor has been trying pretty much everything to dial back Sydney's migraine pain, including diet changes, relaxation therapies, and medicine. Almost all of the medicines were approved for adult use. Some worked a little. Some had awful side effects, but most didn't work at all, until she got Botox. "I kinda laughed. I thought, really, Botox?" Sydney said. The FDA recently approved use of the number one muscle paralyzing, anti-wrinkle injection to relieve migraines. It worked for Sydney's Mom and her older sister, but would it work for a now 17-year old?
"If it works, I'll try it," Shirley said. 41 shots of Botox were sent throughout Sydney's head, neck, and shoulders. This is Sydney's third Botox treatment. It's really expensive, but it is covered by insurance for migraine treatment. The first two Botox treatments and acupuncture eased Sydney's pain enough to get her back in class this school year. She'll even be able to participate in a charity walk for migraine research.
The third time, however, was not the charm. This round of Botox fired. Sydney was back in bed and out of school for weeks again. "This morning she woke up; she was a completely different person," Shirley said.
The migraines continue to affect Sydney. "I get really frustrated because I'm not performing to the best of my ability, and it's not my fault."
Sydney and Shirley Kessel are not giving up and are already working on this year's fundraiser for migraine research.

Taco Bell will give away the free Tacos on Tuesday, Oct. 30 thanks to San Francisco Giants outfielder Angel Pagan stealing second base in the bottom of the 8th inning.
The Giants won Game 2, 2-0 against the Detroit Tigers.
Taco Bell is offering Doritos Locos Tacos to customers for free if any player steals a base in the World Series, according to an article on HuffingtonPost.com.
It's the sixth time Taco Bell has offered free tacos for stolen bases in a promotion dubbed "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco."
Here's how it works: if a player steals a base any time in the first four games of the World Series, Taco Bell will give out free Doritos Locos Tacos between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 30.
If no one steals a base during those first four games, but they do in games five through seven, then Taco Bell will distribute free Doritos Locos Tacos on Monday, Nov. 5 between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.
The Taco Bell location in Royal Oak is at 1611 E 11 Mile Rd.

Seems great! Except when you have crappy or no internet connection, and suddenly a $300 doorstop.
Good point. And I'm sure the developers are looking at this very situation. It'll be interesting to see how it all develops.
Chrome OS has to have a google gears option to work offline somehow. If you added just one program, OpenOffice, that would be major. But then you're back to current netbook computing.
One of the best things I took from this video on launch day was http://www.flashchess3.com/ --nice!
Wow! FlashChess is fabulous! I'm bookmarking! Thanks!

In one day, we'll be in 2012. I know it's a cliché, but where has the year gone? Naturally, we're now at the time of year when folks set goals for the new year. While you might have some goals for your "real" life, how about a few resolutions for your developer life?

I'm trying to teach Amee to call it Num-nums. Right now though she says ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, which is interchangeable for Mommy or for nursing. But hey, ma-ma-ma is pretty close to num-nums, so hopefully she'll learn it ok.

A year on Mama's milk and still loving it
You know you (were) nursing a toddler (preschooler, actually) when your 4 year old squishes your boobs in the middle of a busy aisle in Costco and says, "I LIIIKE your boobies, mommy!! Do you like my boobies?? [squishes her own chest] And if that wasn't enough to make me , then she said, "You have nice nipples, too!"
She said yesterday "I was nursing on the nummie and then it was empty so I de-latched and mommy opened the other side of her nursing tank and gave me the other nummie and there was milk in the nipple."
And she made up a song to the tune of Jesus Loves Me that goes "Yes nums love me, yes nums love me, yes nums love me, the nums tell me so."

NRA bashing from California's Congressional Democrats
U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said Friday that the NRA's proposal "is really nothing more than a distraction."
After the National Rifle Association called Friday for armed police officers at every local school, California members of Congress were swift to react to the proposal.
Democratic U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein didn't dismiss the NRA proposal out of hand. "If school districts want to hire armed security guards," she said, "I support that. It's a decision each school district should make." Feinstein added that one-in-three public schools in America already have armed security on staff.
Feinstein again called for a renewal of her assault weapons ban. "The NRA's blanket call to arm our schools is really nothing more than a distraction," she said. "It's a delay tactic."
Democrats on the House side were equally critical. Grace Napolitano of Norwalk said it was "just like the NRA. Sell more guns. Arm everybody." West L.A.'s Henry Waxman sait it was "very cynical for the NRA to blame everybody but themselves for the gun disasters, the killing that we've been seeing in recent years." And Janice Hahn of Carson said the NRA's solution "is so out of touch with reality and so out of touch with what the American people want right now."
Hahn supports the assault weapons ban, but wants to do something about the guns already out there. She sent a letter to House Speaker John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi asking that $200 million in any fiscal cliff deal be set aside to buy back assault weapons: "I want to get the ones that are already out there and get them off the streets."
Waxman also supports Feinstein's assault weapons ban, and a ban on magazine clips for those weapons. He also suggests a look at our culture's "glorification of violence" and an examination of our mental health system.
Mental health is the top issue for Congresswoman Napolitano. She says families need education to help identify those with mental health problems and the resources to treat them. She says families should be able "to have the funding to pay for the expensive psychiatric treatment for those who need it."
Most Republican House members have been silent on the issue, but Congressman Buck McKeon of Santa Clarita issued a statement saying there should be a "thorough dissection of our country's mental health and family services." He also suggests looking at "problematic" enforcement issues with current gun laws.
And a spokesman for Irvine's John Campbell says the Congressman doesn't support a "single solution approach to solving what is clearly a multi-faceted problem," but does believe we should have a national debate about the root causes of the violence at Newtown.
Election year twist: LA Democrat touting GOP endorsements in House race
In a year when Democrats and Republicans agree on almost nothing, it's strange to see a campaign strategy that has a Democrat touting his Republican support.
But this isn't a normal election year. California's new "top two" election system has Democrats running against Democrats and Republicans running against Republicans in the November general election.
So in the highly competitive San Fernando Valley race pitting veteran House Democrats Brad Sherman and Howard Berman against each other, Berman says he's received the endorsements from a majority of California's Republican congressional delegation. The list includes David Dreier (who's retiring), Darrell Issa, Mary Bono Mack, Ken Calvert, Jerry Lewis (retiring), Ed Royce, Dan Lungren, Wally Herger (retiring), Elton Gallegly (retiring) and Buck McKeon.

Ever since the first generation, countless cute Electric-types have attempted to replicate the success of the legendary electric rodent Pikachu; Plusle, Minun, and Pachirisu are just some of the failures that have sunken into competitive obscurity. However, Ampharos is one Electric-type that doesn't sacrifice power for adorability; in fact, it has plenty of both. With an excellent base 115 Special Attack, Ampharos is no offensive slouch, while its excellent bulk—which differentiates it from its fellow Electric-types—keeps Ampharos in the match for much longer. Access to excellent coverage moves in Focus Blast, Power Gem, and Hidden Power means that Ampharos is never without a move to destroy its opposition. Static, a normally useless ability, finds great use on Ampharos, which, unlike its frail Electric-type brethren, can take multiple hits, increasing the chance of Static activating. Unfortunately, Ampharos can't have everything its own way, as its Speed stat is one of the lowest of all fully evolved Electric-types. However, Agility can patch up its Speed issues and let Ampharos potentially sweep. While Ampharos might be a sheep, when it comes to competitive battling, it'll often be the one leading your team to success.
A tank set makes the most of Ampharos's excellent power and bulk. Volt Switch eases prediction, allowing your team to keep up the momentum and dictate play. Ampharos's low Speed can sometimes be an advantage for your team, as a slow Volt Switch eases prediction and gives frailer Pokemon a free switch-in. However, it would be wise not to let Ampharos take too many hits, as it lacks recovery and can be easily worn down by residual damage.
The other three moves provide Ampharos with great coverage, enabling it to OHKO or 2HKO almost every Pokemon in the metagame. Focus Blast decimates the omnipresent Rock- and Normal-types in NU, such as Regirock and Lickilicky, while Hidden Power eliminates the Ground-types that are immune to Ampharos's STAB attacks. Hidden Power Ice completes the pseudo-BoltBeam combination and takes down Grass-types such as Tangela, as well as Dragon-types such as Altaria. Thunderbolt is the final move and Ampharos's most powerful on the set; as it doesn't force Ampharos to switch out, it is most useful for sustained sweeping. Thunderbolt's power is so great that it has a good chance to 2HKO even the most specially defensive Lickilicky after Stealth Rock, so not much prediction is required when using it.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This more specially defensive take on Ampharos lets it better combat the numerous special attackers that roam the tier. Ampharos's unique Electric typing enables it to check Pokemon such as Rotom-S, Eelektross, and Raichu, all of which can do little to harm it. Thunderbolt is Ampharos's main STAB move for its high Base Power and accuracy; despite the lack of investment, it hits hard thanks to Ampharos's base 115 Special Attack. Discharge is an alternative as opponents such as Sawk will hate to be paralyzed, but the likes of Tangela would prefer to be paralyzed than inflicted with Toxic; therefore, the choice depends on whether your team needs the paralysis support. Heal Bell is a rare move that Ampharos can use to great effect, curing your team from debilitating status such as sleep and burn. Toxic lets Ampharos spread its own status, taking down bulky walls and putting the opposition on a deadly timer; however, note that this status might conflict with paralysis from Discharge. The last slot goes to either Volt Switch to scout and gain momentum or Focus Blast to take down common switch-ins to Ampharos, such as Golem.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
With terrific bulk and only one weakness, Ampharos fills the role of a dual screen user very well. Reflect and Light Screen are obvious moves for a dual screen set, and buffer both Ampharos and its teammates from strong attacks. Volt Switch is very important as Ampharos's terrible Speed lets it easily get a frail sweeper in without having to take a hit. Ampharos's excellent bulk—even before screens—enables it to switch in multiple times throughout the match to set up both screens for its team. Heal Bell is the main move in the last slot to cure its teammates of status; alternatively, Toxic can be used to take down walls and put a timer on Pokemon that might want to set up on Ampharos as it sets up screens.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
As it has an excellent Special Attack stat in addition to good coverage moves, Ampharos's pitiful Speed is the only thing holding it back from a sweep. Luckily, it can use Agility to double its Speed, turning it from a slow attacker into one that can outrun and take down most of the metagame. Thunderbolt is a strong STAB move that destroys most Pokemon, and is the move that Ampharos will be using the most. Unfortunately, it fails to damage Ground-types entirely, so a secondary coverage move is required. Focus Blast is Ampharos's strongest coverage move, which, aside from demolishing Golem and Piloswine, also 2HKOes Lickilicky, NU's premier special wall. Alternatively, Hidden Power Ice provides Ampharos with almost-unresisted BoltBeam coverage, as well as a super effective hit on the Grass-types that resist Thunderbolt. Substitute is used in the last slot to protect Ampharos from status and attacks such as Leech Seed, which could easily cut its sweep short. Unlike frailer sweepers, Ampharos's natural bulk also lets it shrug off most priority moves, such as Skuntank's Sucker Punch, Linoone's ExtremeSpeed, and Gurdurr's Mach Punch, meaning that these Pokemon will fail to stop Ampharos unless it has been weakened.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
The sets listed above already contain all the options Ampharos needs to succeed, but there are some other niche options that Ampharos can use to decent effect. A SubPunch set is unique and can help deal with special walls such as Lickilicky; however, Focus Blast already deals enough damage to KO the threats that Focus Punch would dispose of. Signal Beam is an option to heavily damage most Grass-types, but it only has 5 more Base Power than Hidden Power Ice, which unlike Signal Beam also hits dual Grass / Poison types super effectively. Ampharos can run a purely physical set thanks to its decent Attack stat and usable physical movepool, which includes Wild Charge, Bulldoze, and Fire Punch. Unfortunately, physical sets are almost purely outclassed by specially based ones because of Ampharos's significantly higher Special Attack. Cotton Guard boosts Ampharos's Defense by a whopping three stages, leaving it almost impervious to most physical attacks, but it is a gimmick at best as it doesn't help Ampharos take down the opposition and still leaves it vulnerable to special moves.
Checks and Counters
In general, special walls such as Lickilicky, Munchlax, Audino, Zweilous, Dragonair, and Regice sponge any of Ampharos's attacks bar Choice Specs Focus Blast or Hidden Power Ice in Dragonair's case. Piloswine completely walls Ampharos sets lacking Focus Blast or Toxic and can take the opportunity to set up Stealth Rock or threaten a KO with Earthquake. Camerupt can also wall most sets, easily removing Ampharos from play with a super effective STAB Earth Power. Altaria is another great option to wall Ampharos lacking Hidden Power Ice, as it can shrug off Toxic with Natural Cure and set up with Dragon Dance. Bulky Grass-types such as Roselia and Vileplume fare similarly, as they are only threatened by Hidden Power Ice. Even then, specially defensive variants can usually take several hits and retaliate back or in Roselia's case, set up Spikes. Toxic Spikes are a major problem for Ampharos as it relies on its bulk to succeed, and is placed on a timer if poisoned; Heal Bell only has 8 PP, so it can't be relied on to continually cure Ampharos of status. Finally, residual damage from entry hazards and continuous offensive pressure can deal with Ampharos, as it has no reliable recovery and can be easily worn down.
